A four acre (approx.) slice of heaven offering endless luxury and recreation
Sprawling across four acres (approx.) on an elevated allotment at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges where Kilsyth and Montrose meet, this as-new three bedroom plus study home enjoys the most sublime views to the north, from Montrose as far as King Lake. Nestled in a tranquil, rustic setting, a morning coffee from the encircling verandah reveals calming, verdant sights of ponies and horses ambling past on the bordering trails, and Yarra Valley hot air balloons floating by.
The 15 years-new home is set amid immaculate rose gardens, flaunting an intricate and grand period styling, yet offering contemporary luxuries and comforts throughout its expansive floorplan. A leadlight entry and gleaming Grey Ironbark flooring welcome the home's interiors, announcing the commodious open plan living/dining area with a cosy slow-combustion fireplace, and flowing seamlessly into outdoor entertaining. Incorporated within the open plan, the kitchen displays heritage-styling with granite tops and copious storage, featuring quality Ilve and Asko appliances. A vast games room is highlighted by a drinks bar and billiards lighting, opening onto the rear alfresco patio, while the formal lounge and dining room is warmed by a gas fireplace, enjoying the spectacular scenery. Outdoor celebrations are centred around a sparkling solar-heated swimming pool and a self-contained pool house including a kitchenette, bathroom and living area to facilitate both indoor and outdoor pool-side lounging. The alfresco patio fosters a serene environment with a tranquil water feature, and is complemented with a built-in barbecue kitchenette.
Each of three robed bedrooms are oversized, including a divine master bedroom that enjoys access to the verandah, amid the luxuries of a fitted walk-in robe and a twin-basin spa ensuite. A home office doubles as a fourth bedroom, and the family bathroom is beautifully presented with a claw-foot bath among its amenities. Included with a long list of comforts, including ducted heating, split system air-conditioning, ducted vacuum and security alarm, water tanks totalling 60,000 litres as well as an enviable amount of storage both internally and externally.
This little slice of heaven offers so much possibility with three paddocks and an open stable, in addition to an immense machinery shed for boats, tractors or horse floats, a vast three-car garage, tandem carport, and a tandem garage with plumbed workshop. Blessed with beauty, this idyllic locale is tranquilly situated offering endless recreation, with Doongalla pony and adult riding club within riding distance in the nearby Doongalla Forest, the cafés, restaurants, shopping and buses at Montrose are just a five minute drive away, and the wineries of the Yarra Valley are within easy reach. A short walk to Billanook Primary, while just minutes from Montrose Primary, Montrose Kindergarten and Yarra Hills Secondary, with buses at the doorstep to the prestigious Billanook College.
